(3) When the walls in any non-fire-proof building are used for 
party walls, the 12-inch sections of the walls shall have corbeled ledges 
to carry the end of the beams, or the beams entering the walls shall 
be staggered. If the beams do not rest on corbeled ledges, or are not 
so staggered, the 12-inch sections shall be increased to not less than 
16 inches in thickness. 


(4) For buildings 25 feet or more in width between walls and 
bearings, or without intermediate rows of columns or girders supports, 
the walls shall be increased 4 inches in thickness for every twelve 
feet or fraction that wall or ties are more than 25 feet apart, or shall 
have instead of the thickness, such piers or buttresses as the Building 
Inspector may deem necessary. In no case will these be allowed more 
than fifty feet between walls, unless building is fireproof throughout. 


SECTION 227% Th 


(5) The height of stories for all given thickness of walls shall not 
exceed: 


First Story—18 feet 0 inches in the clear. 

Second Story—15 feet 0 inches in the clear. 

Third Story—13 feet 6 inches in the clear. 

Fourth and Upper Stories—12 feet 0 inches in the clear. 


And if any story exceeds the foregoing heights, the walls of any 
such story and all the walls below that story shall be increased 4 
inches in thickness, and in cases where the height is greatly in excess 
of the foregoing heights the walls shall be thickened as the Building 
Inspector directs. 


(6) Walls containing over 33 per cent of openings shall be in- 
creased in thickness. 


(7) In case it is desired to increase the height of existing walls, 
which are less in thickness than required under these laws, the same 
shall be done by a lining of brickwork to form a combined thickness 
-with the old wall of not less than four inches more than the thick- 
ness required for a new wall corresponding with the total height of 
the wall when so increased in height. The said linings shall be sup- 
ported on proper foundations. 


(8) Walls supporting trusses or heavy concentrated loads, same 
shall be increased in thickness, or buttresses provided, but in no case 
must the brick work be stressed above the limits allowed by these laws 
and provisions must be made against buckling. 


(9) Within the fire limits one story buildings may be built with 
outer walls nine (9) inches in thickness, when such walls inside, be- 
tween floor and ceiling, do not exceed twelve (12) feet in height, or 
fifty (50) feet in length, and do not support girders, or carry floor 
loads; and, except as is herein otherwise provided, every such build- 
ing shall be made to conform with the provisions of ordinances appli- 
cable to the construction of such buildings in said limits. 


SEC. 227%. (1) Where columns are used to support iron or steel 
girders, carrying inclosure walls, the said columns shall be of cast 
iron, wrought iron, or rolled steel and on their exposed outer and inner 
surfaces be constructed to resist fire by having a casing of brick 
work not less than 8 inches in thickness,—on the outer surfaces, nor 
less than 4 inches in thickness on the inner surface all bonded in the 
brick work of the inclosure walls. The exposed sides of the iron or 
steel girders shall be similarly covered in with brick work not less 


72 SECTION 227% 


than 4 inches in thickness, on the outer surface, and tied and bonded 
but the extreme outer edge of the flanges or beams, or plates or 
angles, connected to the beams, may project to within 2 inches of 
the outside surface of the brick casing. The inside surface of girders 
may be similarly covered with brick work, or if projecting inside of a 
wall, it shall be protected by terra cotta, concrete or other fire-proof 
material. Girders for the support of the inclosure walls shall be 
placed at the floor line of each story,—all columns subjected to cross 
bending by wind or eccentric loading shall have additional area pro- 
vided for the stresses. The connections and design of all structural 
parts shall be in conformity with the practice of the “Carnegie,” 
“Trenton,” “Passaic,” ‘“Pencoyd,”’ “Jones and Laughlin,” or other 
first-class rolling mills, as published in their hand books. 


(2) No part of a steel or wrought iron column shall be less than 
one-quarter of an inch thick. No wrought iron or rolled steel column 
shall have an unsupported length of more than forty times its lateral 
dimensions or diameter, unless the unit stress allowed in these laws 
is proportionately reduced. The ends of all columns and the connections 
between them shall be made with spliced plates. The joint may be 
effected by rivets of sufficient size and number to transmit the entire 
stress, and then the spliced plates shall be equal in sectional area to 
the area of the columns spliced. When the section of the columns 
to be spliced is such that spliced plates cannot be used, a connection 
formed of plates and angles may be used, designed to properly dis- 
tribute the stress. Steel and wrought iron columns shall be made in 
one, two or three story lengths and the materials shall be rolled in 
one length wherever practicable to avoid intermediate splices. Where 
any part of the section of a column projects beyond that of the column 
below, the difference shall be made up by filling plates secured to col- 
umn by the proper number of rivets. Shoes of iron or steel as des- 
cribed for cast iron columns, or built shoes of plates and shapes may 
be used, complying with same requirements. 


(3) Cast iron columns shall not have less diameter than 5 inches 
or less thickness than three-quarters of an inch, nor shall they have 
any unsupported length of more than twenty times their least lateral 
dimensions or diameter, except special cases, and except the same 
may form the part of an elevator enclosure or stair case. All cast 
iron columns shall be of good workmanship and material. The top 
and bottom flanges, seats and lugs shall be of ample strength, rein- 
forced by fillets and brackets,—they shall be not less than 1 inch in 
thickness when finished. All columns must be faced at the ends to a 
true surface, perpendicular to the axis of the column. Column joints 
shall be secured by not less than four bolts each, not less than three 


SECTION 227% 73 


quarters of an inch in diameter. The holes for these bolts shall be 
drilled to a template. The core of a column below the joint shall be 
not larger than the core of the column above, and the metal shall be 
tapered down for a distance of not less than 6 inches, or a joint plate 
may be inserted of sufficient strength to distribute the load. The 
thickness of metal shall be not less than one-twelfth the diameter 
of the greatest lateral dimensions of cross section, but never less than 
three-quarters of an inch. Whenever the core of a cast iron column 
has shifted more than one-fourth the thickness of the shell, the 
strength shall be computed, assuming the thickness of the metal all 
around equal to the thinest parts, and the column shall be condemned 
if this computation shows the strength to be less than required by 
this Article. Whenever blow-holes or imperfections are found in 
a cast iron column, which reduces the area of a cross section at that 
point, more than 10 per cent, such column shall be condemned. Cast 
iron posts or columns not cast with open side or back before being 
set up in place, shall have a three-eights of an inch hole drilled in the 
shaft of each post or column by the manufacturer or contractor, fur- 
nishing the same, to exhibit thickness of the casting,—and any other 
similar sized holes, which the Building Inspector may require shall be 
drilled in the said post or column by the said manufacturer, or con- 
tractor at his own expense. Iron or steel shoes, or plates shall be 
used under the bottom tier of the column to properly distribute the 
load on the foundation. Shoes shall be planed on top. 


(4) Iron or steel posts, or columns with one or more open sides 
and backs shall have solid iron plates on top of each, excepting where 
pierced for the passage of pipes. 


(5) Rivets in flanges shall be spaced so that the least value of a 
rivet for either shear or bearing is equal or greater than the imple- 
ment of strain, due to the distance between the adjoining rivets. All 
other rules given under riveting shall be followed. The lengths of 
rivets between heads shall be limited to four times the diameter. The 
compression flange of plate girders shall be secured against buck- 
ling, if its length exceeds thirty times its width. If splices are used, 
they shall fully make good the members spliced in either tension or 
compression. Stiffeners shall be provided over supports and under 
concentrated loads,—they shall be of sufficient strength as a column 
to carry the loads, and shall be connected with a sufficient number of 
rivets to transmit the stresses into the web plate. Stiffeners shall fit 
so as to support the flanges of the girders. If the unsupported depth 
of the web-plate exceeds sixty times its thickness, stiffeners shall be 
used at intervals not exceeding one hundred and twenty times the 
thickness of the web. 


74 SECTION 227% 


(6) When rolled steel or wrought iron beams are used in pairs to 
form a girder, they shall be connected together by bolts and iron 
separators at intervals of not more than five feet. All beams 12 inches 
and over in depth shall have at least two bolts to each separator. 


(7) When lintels or girders are supported at the end by brick 
walls or piers, they shall rest on steel, iron, stone or granite, of suf- 
ficient size to distribute the loads along the wall or pier, so that the 
unit stresses allowed by these laws are not exceeded. 


(8) All rolled steel and wrought floor and roof beams used in build- 
ings shall be of full weight, straight and free from injurious defects. 
Holes for tie rods shall be placed as near the thrust of the arch, as 
practicable, the distance between the rods in floors shall not exceed 
8 feet and shall not exceed eight times the depth of floor beams, 12 
inches and under. Channels or other shapes where used as skew 
backs, shall have a sufficient resisting moment to take up the thrust 
of the arch. Beams resting on girders shall be securely riveted or 
bolted to the same. Anchors shall be provided at the ends of all beams 
bearing on walls. 


(9) Trusses shall be of such design that the stresses in each mem- 
ber can be calculated. All trusses shall be held rigidly in position by 
effective system of lateral and sway bracing. Any member of a 
truss subjected to transverse stress in addition to direct tension or 
compression shall have the stresses causing such strain added to the 
direct stresses coming on the member and the total stresses thus 
formed shall in no case exceed the working stresses stated in these 
laws. 


(10 All structural metal work shall be cleaned of all scale, dirt 
and dust, and be thoroughly coated with one coat of paint. Cast iron 
columns shall not be painted until after inspection by the Building 
Inspector. Where surfaces in riveted work come in contact, they shall 
be painted before assembling. After erection, all work shall be 
painted at least one additional coat. All iron or steel used under 
water shall be enclosed with concrete. 


(11) All steel used in building in the City shall be free from 
seams, flaws, cracks, defective edges, or other defects and shall have 
a smooth, uniform finish. It may be made by either the Bessemer or 
Open Hearth process. All structural steel used in beams and columns, 
and in other large members shall have an ultimate tensile resistance 
of from 60,000 pounds to 70,000 pounds per square inch, and an elastic 
limit of not less than one-half of its ultimate strength and a percent- 
age of elongation in 8 inches equal to 22 per centum. Such steel shall 


SECTION 228 75 


also bend one hundred and eighty (180) degrees on a diameter equal 
to the thickness of the piece stated without fracture on the bent por- 
tion, when tested in a test piece, and shall not contain more than 
one-tenth of one per centum of phosphorus when made by the acid 
process, nor more than five hundredths of one per centum when made 
by the Basic process. Rivet steel shall have an ultimate resistance 
of forty-eight thousand pounds per square inch to fifty-eight thous- 
and pounds per square inch, and an elastic limit of not less than one- 
half of its ultimate strength and a percentage of elongation in 8 
inches equal to 26 per centum. Such steel shall not contain more 
than four hundredths of one per centum of phosphorus. 


(12) All wrought iron shall be uniform and fibrous. It shall have 
an ultimate tensile resistance of not less than forty-eight thousand 
pounds per square inch, and an elongation of twenty per centum in 8 
inches when tested in small test pieces. 


(13) All steel column bases and all other important steel castings 
shall have coupons cast with each casting, such steel shall have not 
more than one-tenth of one per centum phosphorus when made by the 
acid process, nor more than five one hundredths of one per centum 
when made by the Basic process. Cast steel when tested in coupons 
that were not detached from casting until annealing shall have an 
ultimate resistance from 60,000 to 70,000 pounds per square inch, 
elastic limit equal to 45 per centum of its ultimate resistance, and 
an elongation in 2 inches of 18 per centum. All steel castings shall be 
annealed. 


(14) All cast iron castings shall be made of tough, clean, gray iron. 
They shall be free from injurious blow holes, cold-shuts and cinder 
spots. Sample bars 1 inch square, cast in sand moulds on a span of 
12 inches, shall bear a central load of 2,400 pounds, with a minimum 
deflection of one-tenth of an inch before breaking. 


SEC. 228. (1) Hollow concrete building blocks may be used for 
buildings not more than six stories in height, nor more than 75 feet 
in height under the following conditions: 


(2) The thickness of walls for any building where hollow concrete 
blocks are used shall not be less than is required by the Building 
Ordinance for brick walls. 


(3) Inno case shall the walls, or webs of said blocks be less than 
one-fourth of the height of the blocks. 


(4) Where hollow blocks are used for party walls, the blocks 
must be solid at each tier of beams from a line drawn not less than 


76 SECTION 229 


9 inches below the bottom of the beams to a line drawn not less than 
9 inches above the top of the beam. 


(5) All outside walls below grade must be bulit solid. 


(6) Where the walis are made entirely of hollow concrete blocks, 
but where the said blocks have not the same width as the walls, every 
fifth course shall extend through the wall forming a secure bond. 


(7) All concrete blocks shall be laid in Portland cement mortar. 


(8) The hollow space in a block shall not exceed one-third of the 
superficial area, and no block shall be used which will, at the age of 
twenty-eight days, crush at less than 1,000 pounds per square inch 
of solid area, and no block in a wall, pier or buttress, shall be sub- 
jected to a greater stress than 150 pounds to the square inch of 
available effective section. 


(9) No concrete blocks shall be used in the construction of any 
building until they have been inspected and approved by the Build- 
ing Inspector. 


(10) All conerete blocks shall be composed of at least one part 
of Portland cement and not more than five parts of clean, coarse, 
sharp sand and gravel, or other suitable aggregate approved by the 
Building Inspector. 


(11) All concrete blocks before being used shall have attained an 
age of at least 28 days. 


(12) The aggregate shall be of such fineness as to pass through 
a half-inch ring and be free from dirt and other injurious matter. 


(18) The cement shall be up to the standard requirements set 
for reinforced concrete. 


SEC. 229. (1) The term re-inforced concrete in these regula- 
tions shall be understood to mean an approved concrete mixture, re- 
‘inforced with steel of any shape, so combined that the steel will take 
up the tensional stresses and assist in the resistance to shear. 


(2) Before permission to erect any re-inforced concrete structure 
is issued, complete drawings and specifications must be filed with the 
Inspector of Buildings, showing all the details, and the sizes and 
position of the re-inforcing rods, stirrups, etc., and giving the com- 
position of the concrete, provided, however, that the permission to 
erect any concrete does not in any manner imply the acceptance of 
the construction to the satisfaction of the Inspector of Buildings. 


SECTION 229 77 


(3) The concrete shall be mixed in the proportions of not less 
than one part of Portland cement, two parts of sand, and four parts 
of clean stone or gravel, or in such other proportions as may be neces- 
sary to make the resistance of the mixture to crushing not less than 
two thousand (2000) pounds per square inch after hardening for 
twenty-eight days. In all cases the proportion shall be such as will 
produce a compact and dense concrete. 


(4) Cement to be according to the test requirements of the “Amer- 
ican Society of Civil Engineers.” 


Provided always that a copy of a duly certified statement of the 
result of each such test of the cement to be used in any concrete con- 
struction shall be filed with the City Inspector before the said cement 
is used in said construction. 


(5) The sand to be used must be clean, sharp and coarse, perfectly 
free from loam or dirt. 


(6) The stone shall be clean crushed rock or gravel, or crushed 
blast furnace slag,—the run of the crusher may be used, providing, 
however, that the maximum size must pass through a two-inch ring 
for footings, walls and larger size girders and pass through a three- 
quarter inch (38-4) ring for floor slabs and other work. 


(7) The concrete used in re-inforced construction must be what is 
usually known as a wet mixture, and all concrete shall be thoroughly 
mixed by machine to an even, uniform consistency. 


When.a section or panel of re-inforced concrete or any trussed con- 
crete member is started it must be finished in its entirety before shut- 
ting down for any purpose, which will make a necessary delay of more 
than thirty minutes’ duration, and any batch or remnant of concrete, 
which has been allowed to stand until it begins to set must be at once 
removed and shall not be mixed or used in any portion of the work. 


(8) All concrete must be placed in the forms in its final position 
as quickly as possible after being properly mixed, and particular at- 
tention must be given to the thorough puddling of concrete around all 
re-inforcement and under lower flanges of all beams, so as to make 
the entire mass a monolithic body entirely free from voids or unfilled 
portions. 


(9) The steel shall be rolled from new billets and certified tests 
shall be supplied the Building Inspector, showing the elastic limit, 
ultimate strength and properties of the re-inforcing metal before the 
work is commenced. 


78 SECTION 229 


Steel for re-inforcing shall be medium or high elastic limit steel 
with a minimum elongation in eight inches of eighteen (18) per cen- 
tum. The steel shall bend cold on its own diameter through an angle 
of 180 degrees without fracture on the outer circumference. In the 
case of the high elastic limit steel, when the adhesion between con- 
erete and steel exceeds the limit allowed by these laws, the re-inforc- 
ing steel shall be deformed in an approved manner so that the ad- 
hesion between the two is not less than the unit stress in this ordi- 
nance. 


(10) All re-inforcing steel shall be completely enclosed by the con- 
crete,—the thickness of the concrete on the bottom or exposed side 
of any re-inforcing steel member of a lintel, beam, girder or column, 
shall not be less than one and one-half (1 1-2 inches) inches and there 
shall not be less thickness than three-quarters of an inch (8-4 inch) 
on the bottom of the steel in a floor slab. 


The steel in the walls shall be so disposed that there be not less 
than one (1 inch) inch of concrete between the steel bars and either 
face of the walls. All the requirements herein specified for the pro- 
tection of steel and for the fire resisting purposes shall apply to re- 
inforced concrete fillings between rolled steel beams, as well as to the 
re-inforced beams and to the entire structure in re-inforced concrete. 
Any concrete structure or the floor filling in same, re-inforced or 
otherwise, which may be erected on a permanent centering of sheet 
metal, of metal lathing and curved bars, or a metal centering of any 
form must be strong enough to carry its load without assistance from 
the centering, as herein specified for steel re-inforcement. Exposed 
metal centering or exposed metal of any kind will not be considered 
a factor in the strength of any part of any concrete structure and a 
plaster finish applied over the metal shall not be deemed a sufficient 
protection. 


(11) When columns, girders, beams, lintels, etc., are not cast in 
place, they shall be cast in the same position they would be placed 
in the structure. All columns shall be cast in their vertical positions. 
All floor beams and slabs must be cast in one operation when the 
section is considered in the design of the beam. 


(12) The execution of the work shall be performed by workmen 
under the direct supervision of a competent foreman or superinten- 
dent. 


(13) Re-inforced concrete shall be of such nature that the stresses 
can be calculated, and it shall be so designed that the stresses in the 
concrete and the steel shall not exceed the following limits in pounds 
per square inch:

The ratio of the moduli of elasticity of concrete and steel shall be 
as one to fifteen. The following assumption shall guide in the deter- 
mination of the bending moments due to the external forces: Lintels, 
beams and girders shall be considered as simply supported at the 
ends, no allowance being made for the continuous construction over 
supports, and the bending moment for the uniformly distributed load 
on such a member shall be taken at not less than WL-8 where W is 
the uniformly distributed load and L is the span. The moment of 
resistance of any re-inforced concrete construction under traverse 
loads shall be determined by formulas based on the following assump- 
tions: 

(a) The bond between the concrete and steel is sufficient to make 
the two materials act together in a homogeneous solid. 


(b) The strain in any fibre is directly proportionate to the dis- 
tance of that fibre from the neutral axis. 


(c) The modulus of the elasticity of the concrete remains con- 
stant within the limits of the working stresses fixed in these laws. 


(d) The tensile strength of the concrete shall not be considered. 


From these assumptions it follows that the stress in any fibre is 
directly proportionate to the distance of that fibre from the neutral 
axis. 


When the shearing stresses developed in any part of a concrete 
steel construction exceed the safe working strength of the concrete, 
as fixed in these laws, a sufficient amount of steel shall be introduced 
in such a position that the deficiency in the resistance to shear is 
overcome. Re-inforced concrete may be used for columns when the 
ratio of length to least side of diameter does not exceed twelve,—pro- 
vided the least side of diameter in no case be less than eight (8 inches) 
inches. The re-inforcing rods shall be rigidly tied or latticed together 
at intervals of not more than the least side, or the diameter of the 
column, or spirally wound steel may be used. All columns shall con- 
tain vertical re-inforcing rods of a total section of not less than one 
two hundred and sixtieth (1-260) of the total cross-sectional area of 
the column. The safe load in pounds per square inch of cross sec- 
tion of re-inforced concrete columns shall not exceed 600 for the upper 


80 SECTION 229 


story columns, 625 for the next lower story columns, 650 for for the 
next lower story columns, 675 for the next lower story columns, 700 
for all the next lower story columns, and no allowance shall be made 
for the steel in the columns. When allowance is made for steel the 
columns shall be so constructed that they can be figured by some 
approved recognized engineering formula, and the unit stress in the 
concrete shall be taken at 500 pounds. When vertical re-inforcing 
rods are used in columns, such rods shall have their ends milled nor- 
mal to the longitudinal axis, and such rods shall have perfect bearings 
at each joint, which joints shall occur only at floors or other points 
of lateral supports, and a tight fitting sleeve shall be provided at all 
joints of vertical re-inforcing rods. Where the re-inforcing rods in 
the columns on the different floors are of different sizes, iron fillers 
can be used in order to make a tight fit of the smaller rod in the 
sleeve. In the case of buildings in which allowances must be made 
for wind pressure, the re-inforcing rods of columns shall be connected 
and the milled surfaces brought together by threading the rods, and 
providing threaded sleeve nuts or threaded turn buckles, or other 
equally effective methods satisfactory to the Building Inspector. In 
all cases where re-inforced concrete columns rest upon girders, walls 
or foundations, or other piers, and stress the concrete, brick or other 
material in excess of that allowed in these laws, either wrought or 
cast iron or steel bearing plates must be provided. The plates or 
bases to be of sufficient size to distribute the load, or, if the girder, 
wall or foundation, or other pier is constructed of material, the 
strength of which is not especially referred to in these laws, the plates 
or bases must be of sufficient size to distribute the load to such an 
extent that the safe compressive stress per square inch allowed by 
standard engineering authorities on such material will not be exceeded. 
The plates or bases must also be either of sufficient thickness, or be 
braced or webbed so as to resist within the limits allowed by these 
laws,—the bending and shearing stresses to which they will be sub- 
jected by these columns and the ends of all re-inforcing rods must be 
milled or sawn normal to the perpendicular axis and each must have 
a full or perfect bearing on the plate or base. No floor slabs shall 
have a thickness of less than three and one-half (3 1-2) inches. 


(14) The thickness of bearing walls for any building where con- 
crete walls are used shall not be less than is required by the building . 
law for brick walls. Buildings having a complete skeleton construc- 
tion of steel, or of re-inforced concrete construction, or a combination 
of both, designed to safely resist all strains caused by the dead weights 
of the structure and the live loads and wind pressure within the 
safe limits of stress provided in these laws for each material used, 
may have walls of re-inforced concrete 6 inches thick for the upper 


SECTIONS 230 TO 233 81 


two stories and walls 7 inches thick for the two stories next below 
the upper two stories, and walls 8 inches thick for all other stories 
next below the upper four stories. Provided, however, that such walls 
shall support only their own weight, and that such walls have steel 
rods not less than 3-8 inches in diameter or of an equivalent area set 
vertically not more than 18 inches on centers and horizontally not 
more than twenty (20 inches) inches on centers properly anchored 
and hooked to columns and panel beams, said rods to be wired or 
otherwise tied together where they intersect one another, and pro- 
vided that said walls shall safely resist a pressure of fifty (50) pounds 
per square foot from either the exterior or the interior. 


SEC. 230. No building, or part of a building, within fire limits 
number one or two, shall be used as a Public Garage unless the floor 
on which automobiles or motor cars, or vehicles are stored, kept, or 
repaired shall be of stone, fire brick, concrete or other equally suf- 
ficient fire proof material, and, if such Garage shall be in a building 
the exterior or party walls of which are not brick, stone, concrete, or 
other incombustible material, all the interior walls and partitions 
thereof, which are not of incombustible material, and all wood-work 
forming parts of its interior construction, shall be covered for the 
height of six (6) feet from the floor with tin, sheet-iron, or other 
equally sufficient fire proof material. 


Where any portion of a building is used for a Garage the Garage 
shall be deemed to embrace all of the building not separated from 
the Garage proper by walls and partitions made of incombustible 
material, or covered with such material as is provided herein. 


SEC. 231. In the event of the refusal of the Inspector of Build- 
ings to issue a permit when applied for, the applicant shall have the 
right of appeal to the Board, and said Board shall have the authority 
to direct the Inspector to issue any such permit not in violation of 
any law or ordinance of the City. 


SEC. 232. It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police to serve all 
legal notices in connection with the Building Inspector’s office and 
make a true return of same. 


It shall be unlawful: 


SEC. 233. To construct any building unless the roofs be so con- 
structed as to be reached by scuttle, or by iron steps fastened to the 
outside of the outer wall; if by scuttle the same shall be at least 
20x30 inches, the frame and lid covered with metal and shall have a 
stationary ladder communicating with such scuttle. 


82 SECTIONS 234 TO 238 


SEC. 234. To remove from one point to another in the fire limits 
No. 1 or from without into said fire limits any building or part thereof 
with exterior walls constructed of wood or combustible material. 


SEC. 234%. For the occupant, owner of, or contractor for any build- 
ing, or any other person, to in any way hinder or prevent any author- 
ized officer from entering during business hours, any business build-. 
ing or any other building in process of construction. 


SEC. 235. To construct within the fire limits No. 1 any building 
having a wooden frame covered, or to be covered with tin, zinc, or 
sheet iron, except as provided in this code. The Board may, upon 
application of the owner of any lot that is entirely covered by water, 
grant permission to such owner to erect, or repair, upon said lot on 
pilings a boat house, or like building, having a wooden frame and to be 
entirely covered with tin, zinc or sheet iron. 


SEC. 286. For any person to construct, erect, maintain, repair or 
remove any building or structure within the limits of the City of 
Pensacola in violation of any of the foregoing regulations, or to do 
any act in violation of, or fail to comply with the requirements of, 
any permit, or notice, authorized by said regulations. Whenever 
the unlawfulness of an act or omission shall depend upon the giving 
of a notice by an officer of the City or the obtaining of a permit, the 
continuance of the act or omission after such notice or without hav- 
ing such permit, shall be deemed an offense, and the offender shall be 
punishable for each day of such continuance as for a separate offense. 


ARTICLE II—HOUSE MOVING. 


SEC. 237. No house, building or other such structure shall be 
moved along, across or over any street or public way of the City with- 
out a permit from the Board. Such permit shall be granted only when 
the applicant shall file with the Board a bond in such amount and with 
such surety as the Board shall require conditioned that the applicant 
shall pay to the City, and to all persons any and all damages which 
it or they may sustain by reason of the moving of said structure or 
resulting from the omission or commission of any person or persons 
engaged in such work. 


SEC. 238. It shall be unlawful for any person engaged in moving 
any structure on or over any street or public way to damage or inter- 
fere with any trees, electric wires, posts or other structures of any 
kind except as authorized by the Board; to do any injury or damage 
to any person or property; to unreasonably obstruct or interfere with 
the traffic on any street; to fail to obey any ordinance, rule or regu- 


SECTIONS 239 TO 241 83 


lation relative to warning signals and barriers; to disturb or damage 
any street, paving, or sidewalk, or to fail and refuse to replace, and 
repair any street pavement or sidewalk that the Board may permit 
to be disturbed.

unsanitary condition. Any person who shall interfere with him in 
the proper performance of such duties shall be punished by a fine not 
exceeding Twenty-five ($25.00) Dollars or by imprisonment not ex- 
ceeding thirty days. 


SEC. 248. Before any portion of the plumbing and drainage sys- 
tem of any building shall be constructed or reconstructed, there shall 
be furnished to the Plumbing Inspector a description or statement 
of the proposed work, together with a detailed sketch or drawing, 
showing the run of the soil, drain, waste and ventilating pipes; such 
description and sketch, or plan, must be signed by the licensed plumber 
and must give the number and kind of fixtures to be used in said 
work, the size and quality of said soil, drain, waste and ventilating 
pipes to be used and such other information as will give the Inspector 
a complete knowledge of the work to be done. The said description 
and sketch, or plan, shall be made in duplicate, and when approved 
by said Inspector, such approval must be indorsed on each copy, one 
to be returned to the plumber and the other filed with the records 
of the Board, whose pruperty it then becomes. The work must be 
executed strictly in accordance with such approved description and 
sketch, or plan. This regulation also applies to any extension or 
alteration of old work. 


SEC. 249. The Plumbing Inspector shall be notified at least twenty- 
four hours before the plumbing and drainage work of any building or 
a portion thereof is completed, ready for each inspection or testing. 
Any system of plumbing or drain laying put in and covered over with- 
out first being approved by the Plumbing Inspector must be uncovered 
for his examination by or at the expense of the licensed plumber. 


SEC. 250. When a water closet is to be connected with a public 
sewer it must be connected with soil pipes not less than four inches in 


SECTIONS 251 TO 254 87 


diameter, and shall extend five feet beyond foundation wall. All cast 
iron pipes underground must have at least one-quarter inch fall to the 
foot. All horizontal drains within and to a distance of five feet be- 
yond the foundation wall of building shall be of tar coated cast or 
galvanized wrought iron, and shall be so located as to be readily 
accessible for inspection at all times. Outside of buildings where 
the soil is of sufficient solidity for proper foundations, cylindrical 
terra cotta pipes of the best quality, free from flaws, splints or cracks, 
perfectly burned and well salt glazed over their entire inner and outer 
surfaces, may be used, laid as required, but in no case shall terra 
cotta pipes be permitted within five feet of any foundation wall or the 
top of the pipes less than twenty inches from the surface of the 
ground, and no connection shall be made with rain water conductors, 
surface or air inlets, except as hereinafter specified. 


SEC. 251. Should there be no water closet within the building, the 
soil pipe leading from the water closet in the yard shall extend above 
the roof of the building and at a point to be designated by the In- 
spector, but in no case shall the vent pipe terminate within twelve 
feet of any window or other opening of this or the adjoining building 
or buildings. 


SEC. 252. All cast iron pipe must be tar coated, sound, and free 
from holes and when laid under ground shall be extra heavy and when 
placed above the ground shall be of standard thickness. 


SEC. 253. All drain, soil, waste, vent and supply pipes shall be as 
direct and concentrated as possible and protected from injury. Waste 
pipes from kitchen sink, pantry sink, bath tub, wash stand and laundry 
tubs, shall consist of soil or galvanized iron pipes two inches inside 
diameter, or lead pipe one and one-half inches in diameter, with traps 
not less than one and one-half inches in diameter, except in the case 
of wash stands, which may be one and one-quarter inches in diameter. 
The size of vents for the above shall not be less than one and one- 
quarter inches in diameter inside measure. 


SEC. 254. Every vertical soil pipe, waste pipe and vent pipe must 
be of cast or galvanized wrought iron or lead, and it must extend 
full size to at least two feet above the roof. Each length shall be 
securely fastened to the walls of the buildings, and in case of each 
line of soil pipe it shall rest at its foot on a pier or foundation to 
prevent settlement. All joints in cast iron drain, soil or waste pipes 
must be so filled with oakum and lead, and hand caulked as to make 
them gas tight; the amount of lead shall not be less than twelve ounces 
to each inch diameter of pipe. All wrought iron pipe shall have gas 
tight screw joints. All soil pipe shall be at least four inches in 


88 SECTIONS 255 TO 259 


diameter. The whole line of soil, waste or vent pipes in any system

square inch, without any apparent fluctuation of the pressure guage. 
The plumber must provide air pump and plugs and make the test 
in the presence of the Plumbing Inspector, who must not approve 
any system of piping which will not withstand the above described 
test. 


SEC. 255. There shall be no traps placed on the vertical soil or 
waste pipes, and the former must be free and unobstructed from the 
public sewers to its termination at the top of the roof of the building.

the roof of the main building, where otherwise they would open within 
twelve feet of the windows of the main house or those of adjoining 
houses. ; 


SEC. 256. Where lead pipes are used to connect fixtures with soil 
or waste pipes, or to connect traps with vent pipes, they must not 
be lighter than D pipe. All water closets used inside of a building 
shall be either a siphon jet or siphon action closet. An iron hopper 
closet, enameled inside, with trap also enameled inside, and properly 
connected with a flushing tank of at least five gallons capacity may be 
used as a yard closet in lieu of a siphon jet or siphon action closet. 
Connections between hopper closets and soil pipes shall be made by 
caulking trap of closet into hub of soil pipe with oakum and lead 
making an air tight joint. Connections between other closets and 
soil pipes shall be made with four-inch lead bends, or four-inch lead 
piped wiped onto a four-inch brass ferrule, and the ferrule is to be 
caulked into hub of soil pipe so as to make an air tight joint. Con- 
nection between closet and lead bend shall be made with equal parts 
of white lead and putty, or with brass floor plate with rubber gaskets. 
Floor plate to be soldered to lead bend. 


SEC. 257. All connections of lead with iron pipe must be made with 
a brass sleeve or ferrule of the same size as the lead pipe, with a 
wiped joint, and the other end adjusted in the hub of the iron pipe and 
caulked with lead. No connection between waste and vent pipes and 
traps shall be made with slip joints, and in no case will a trap be 
allowed with less than a full two and one-half-inch seal. 


SEC. 258. Every water closet, urinal, sink, basin, wash tray, bath 
and every tub or set of tubs and hydrant waste pipe must be separ- 
ately and effectively trapped. In no case must the waste from a bath 
tub or other fixture be connected with a water closet trap. 


SEC. 259. Traps must be placed as near the fixture as practicable, 
and in no case more than two feet. Each and every trap shall be 


SECTIONS 260 TO 262 89 


protected from siphonage and to be ventilated by an air pipe taken 
out of the crown of the trap and branched into the soil pipe above the 
highest fixture, or be connected with a special pipe erected for ventila- 
tion only, such ventilating pipe to extend at least two feet above the 
roof. Approved mechanical traps may be substituted where it is 
necessary or advisable upon the approval of the Plumbing Inspector. 
Where only one closet is used on run of soil and vent pipe and is not 
over two feet from soil and vent pipe, such closets will not have to be 
back vented, but where two or more closets are connected on the same 
soil pipe they shall be back vented by a two-inch pipe properly con- 
nected to lead bend below floor and connected to four-inch vent pipe 
above highest fixture. 


SEC. 260. Overflow pipes from fixtures in each case must be con- 
nected on the inlet side of the trap of the same fixture. The waste 
from the refrigerators must in no case be directly connected with any 
soil or waste pipe, or with any other drain or sewer. 


SEC. 260%. Water closets must never be located in any unventi- 
lated room or compartment. In every case the compartment must be 
open to the outer air, or be ventilated with a shaft or air duct. Water 
closets of all descriptions when placed in the yard, or in an outshed or 
balcony, must have water supply pipes and traps protected from injury. 
The compartments of such water closets must be ventilated. All 
traps and valves must be placed in a pit, constructed of brick, stone 
or cement, at least two feet below the surface of the ground.

connected with the sewer or with any other drain, soil pipe or waste 
pipe. Such pipes must first be discharged into a condensing tank. 


SEC. 262. All work improperly executed and not in accordance 
with this Chapter, shall, upon the written order of the Plumbing 
Inspector, be removed by the person or firm improperly executing 
the same, within forty-eight hours after notice, and for any failure 
so to do, said person or firm shall be punished by a fine not exceed- 
ing Twenty-five ($25.00) Dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding 
30 days. As soon as any plumbing system has been finally inspected 
and approved by the Plumbing Inspector, he shall issue to the plumber 
a certificate to that effect. 


90 SECTIONS 263 TO 266 


SEC. 263. No person, or persons, shall make any excavation in any 
street, avenue, sidewalk, lane or other public place for the purpose 
of laying any drain or sewer, or shall make any attachment with the 
public sewerage or drainage system of the City of Pensacola, or shall 
do any work in connection with the plumbing and drain laying in the 
said City where such is connected with the public sewers, drains, gut- 
ters and water courses without first having obtained a permit from 
the Plumbing Inspector for the purpose of connecting with the sani- 
tary sewers, or from City Engineer for the purpose of connecting with 
storm sewers. And no work of any kind can be commenced or con- 
tinued without the permit is on the ground in the hands of the 
plumber or drain layer and the same shall be shown to any City official 
if so requested. And no permit will be granted for the performance 
of any work as above described to any other person than a regularly 
licensed plumber. 


SEC. 264. In connecting a house branch to a public sewer in the 
street the Y branches or slants which have been built into the sewer 
for that purpose, must be used for making such connections, unless 
a special permit has first been granted to insert a new connection. 
If no junction Y’s or slants have been built into the sewer at the place 
where the connection is to be made, the plumber must cut out part 
of the main sewer and carefully insert a Y branch or slant, the main 
body of which must be of the same diameter as the sewer. Such work 
must be done under the immediate supervision of the Plumbing In- 
spector and the cost of same must be paid by the plumber. 


SEC. 265. In all cases the drain and sewer pipes extending from 
the main sewer in the street to a point five feet outside of the building 
or if not taken into the building then to any other place which it is 
intended to drain, must consist of extra heavy tar-coated cast iron 
or good salt-glazed terra cotta pipe, approved by the Plumbing In- 
spector, and shall be five inches in diameter. The minimum weight 
of terra cotta pipe must be ten pounds to the foot. 


SEC. 266. The least inclination which will be allowed for water 
closets, kitchen and other drains not over five inches in diameter 
liable to receive solid substances, is 1-4 of an inch to the foot, and for 
cellar and other drains to receive water only 1-8 of an inch to the foot. 
Pipes are to be laid in a trench carefully, at a uniform and unbroken 
grade and in a straight line from the public sewer in the street to 
the upper end of the pipe. Changes of direction where necessary are 
to be made with regular bends, and all connections with Y branches 
or slants must be made with a bend. The joints of the pipes must be 
made with one part of approved Portland cement mixed with one 
part sand; each joint must be thoroughly filled with mortar all around, 


SECTION 267 91 


and covered with the same to the thickness of the bell. All pipe 
must be cleaned on the inside by drawing through it a swab of the 
same diameter as the pipe while the same is being laid. All terra 
cotta pipe used must be of the hub and spigot pattern. In back-filling 
the trench the best materials excavated must be rammed about the 
pipe and over it for a depth of 18 inches, the balance of the back-fill- 
ing may be puddled. All pipes must be laid upon a good foundation 
satisfactory to the Plumbing Inspector. 


SEC. 267. The street and sidewalk must be opened and the work 
and other materials deposited in such manner as will occasion the 
least inconvenience to the public, and provide a passage way for the 
water to run through the gutters. Every plumber must enclose any 
opening which he may make in the public places of the City with 
sufficient barriers, and must maintain red lights at the same at night 
and must take all necessary precautions to effectually guard the pub- 
lic against all accidents by reason of work. He and his sureties will 
be held strictly liable for any damage to person or property resulting 
by reason of any work done by him. After the trench is filled in the 
top surface of the streets and pavements shall be finished in the same 
condition and with the same materials as it was prior to the com- 
mencement of the work and must be so maintained for a period of 
six months by and at the expense of the plumber. When the exca- 
vation is made through or under a permanently improved street, the 
plumber must deposit with the Board, before receiving his permit, 
such an amount of cash as, in the judgment of said Board, may be 
sufficient to pay the cost of refilling the trench made through or under 
such street, and repaving it in the same manner and with like ma- 
terials as it was paved or improved prior to its being disturbed. As 
soon as the plumbing and drain laying is finished across, through or 
under any such street, the Commissioner of Streets and Public Works 
shall be notified, whereupon the trench shall be filled in as soon there- 
after as possible by men in the employ of the Board, and as soon 
thereafter as the said Board may deem advisable, the section of street 
thus disturbed shall be paved by said Board. The cost of refilling of 
the trench and repaving and maintaining said portion of the street 
shall be paid from the deposit made by the plumber, if the cost is less 
than such deposit, the balance shall be returned to the plumber, but 
if it exceeds such deposit the excess shall be paid to the Board before 
any other permit is granted to such plumber for other work. In all

SECTION 636 175 


height in one operation and the concrete thoroughly tamped into place. 
The concrete will have a thickness of four (4) inches when tamping 
is completed. Expansion joints will be placed at least every Thirty 
(30) feet.

course on before the concrete sets at all. 


(d) The walks are to be kept moist, protected from the weather 
and guarded against travel until they have thoroughly set. They may 
be kept moist by covering them as soon as they have set sufficiently

be two (2) inches thick after tamping; the surface of each stone must 
contain at least 15 square feet. 


(b) If the contractor for any reason allows the bottom or founda- 
tion course to set before he is ready to set the stones, he must remove 
such concrete. 


(c) The stones will be bedded into the fresh concrete and dry 
cement broomed into the joints to thoroughly fill same, after which 
they must be sprinkled. 


176 SECTION 636 


(d) Driveways shall be laid in the same manner as concrete side- 
walks except that they shall be marked in small squares and rolled 
with a tooth roller.

conventional shape; the blocks must be made of Portland cement and 
sand in the proportion of one (1) part of cement to two (2) parts of 
sand, mixed with the proper amount of water and coloring matter, 
rammed into the proper moulds and allowed to set before the moulds 
are removed. The moulds must not for any reason be placed on dry 
planks or boards, nor shall they be placed in the.sun, and the blocks 
must be sprinkled at intervals to keep them at all times damp for a 
period of three days. The blocks shall have a thickness of at least 
one (1) inch when laid; the top surface to be smooth steel troweled 
finished top, edges to be true and sharp, sides to make a true right 
angle with top surface. The blocks when broken must show that 
mixing and tamping was properly done and that each block is thor- 
oughly homogeneous throughout. They must not be laid until they 
have thoroughly set, which time is placed at fourteen (14) days. No 
chipped or broken blocks will be permitted to go into the walk except 
that half blocks may be used on the edges to make joints break 
properly. Blocks must be impervious to water and must ring clear 
when struck together. 


(b) The concrete shall immediately after being mixed as provided 
in Paragraph 14 be placed in the proper forms, constructed of sound 
deals not less than 2x4 inches and well braced. After it is started 
to fill a form, the work shall not be stopped for any reason, but the 
form will be filled to the proper height in one operation and the con- 
crete thoroughly tamped into place. The concrete shall have a thick- 
ness of three (3) inches when tamping is completed. 


(c) Expansion joints will be made by placing a board 1x5x6 inches 
at right angles to long axis of the walk allowing same to stay in long 
enough to permit removal without disturbing the concrete, and the 
void will be filled with clean dry sand. Expansion joints will be 
placed every thirty (30) feet. 


(d) The bottom course will be laid only so far in advance of the 
block layer as to allow the blocks and curb dressing to be placed in 
the concrete before same sets. Concrete that is allowed to set before 


the blocks and curb dressing are placed will be removed and not used 
again. 


(e) The blocks after being well sprinkled will be laid and bedded 
in the fresh concrete in true and regular courses and tamped -:down 


SECTION 636 ney LTT 


with the handle of a bricklayer’s hammer, or other suitable tool; the 
curb dressing one (1) inch thick will then be placed and well troweled 
to make a neat and flush joint with the blocks. 


(f) The surface of the blocks will then be covered with dry cement 
which will be thoroughly broomed into the joints with a broom suitable 
for the purpose, after which the work will be well sprinkled. 


(g) During this operation care will be taken not to loosen or 
disturb the position of the blocks and any blocks loosened or disturbed

ject to all the duties and obligations now pertaining to, or incumbent

or ordinances in full once a week for four consecutive weeks in one 
of the newspapers published in the city of Pensacola, which publica- 
tion shall be made at the expense of the persons, firms or corpora- 
tions applying for said grant. Pending the passage of such resolu- 


APPENDIX IV 267 


tion, by-law or ordinance or during the time intervening between its 
final passage and the expiration of the thirty days during which pub- 
lication shall be made as above provided, the legally qualified voters 
of said city may by written petition, or petitions, addressed to said 
Board of Commissioners, object to such grant, and if during said 
period such written petition, or petitions shall be signed and filed as 
is provided in Section 26 hereof, the Commissioners or Mayor shall 
forthwith order an election, at which election the legally qualified 
voters of said city shall vote for or against the proposed grant as set 
forth in the said by-law, resolution or ordinance, and pending such 
election the said grant shall stand suspended. In publishing the call 
for said election the said resolution, by-law or ordinance making said 
grant shall be published at length and at the expense of the city in 
some newspaper published in said city by at least one publication. 
That whenever, as is provided in Section 26 hereof, the expense of 
such election shall be required to be paid by the person, firm or cor- 
poration, applying for such grant or franchise, said Commissioner or 
Mayor shall, before making such call, furnish to the person, firm or 
corporation applying for such grant or franchise, an estimate of the 
expense of the election to be held to consider the same, and if the 
person, firm, or corporation so applying shall pay to, or deposit with, 
the city a sum sufficient to cover the cost of such election, as so esti- 
mated, the Board of Commissioners shall proceed to call said election; 
but if the same be not paid to, or deposited with, the said city within 
thirty days after said board makes said estimate of the cost of such 
election said election shall not be ordered and the by-law, resolution or 
ordinance shall not be effective. The applicant for any such grant or 
franchise shall pay to the city the expense of such advertisement 
thereof whether an election be held thereon or not, and the expense of 
such election, if held, and such by-laws, resolutions or ordinances shall 
not be valid unless the fact of such payment be noted in the record 
thereof upon the minute book or other permanent record thereof as 
kept by said board. Any applicant may withdrew any application be- 
fore and without expense of such election or he may ask and obtain a 
suspension of the by-law, resolution or ordinance until the next regu- 
lar municipal election at which time the question of its adoption may 
be determined by special ballot, and without expense to the applicant 
except for printing the special ballot and advertising the election on 
such application. If at such election the majority of the votes cast 
shall be in favor of said ordinance and the making of said proposed 
grant the same shall thereupon become effective; but if a majority of 
the votes cast shall be against the passage of said resolution, by-law 
or ordinance, said resolution, by-law or ordinance shall not become 
effective, nor shall it convey any rights, powers, or privileges of any 
kind, and it shall be the duty of said Board of Commissioners after 


268 APPENDIX IV 


such result of said election shall be determined, to pass a resolution 
or ordinance to that effect. No grant of any franchise or lease or 
right of user, or any other right in, under, upon, along, through, or 
over the streets, public highways, thoroughfares, city wharves and 
wharf property or public property of the city of Pensacola shall be 
made or given, nor any such rights of any kind whatever be conferred 
upon any person, firm or corporation, except by resolution or ordi- 
nance duly passed by the Board of Commissioners at some regular 
or adjourned meeting and published as above provided by this section; 
nor shall any extension or enlargement of any such rights or powers 
be made or given except in the manner and subject to all the condi- 
tions herein provided as to the original grant of same, and no license, 
permit, or franchise hereafter granted for the operation of any public 
utility, shall be sold, transferred, or assinged without the consent, by 
ordinance, of the city of Pensacola. 


Section 16. No franchise shall hereafter be granted, except upon 
condition that the city shall have the right, at any time after fifteen 
years from the granting thereof, to purchase the physical properties of 
the franchise holder, and to terminate its franchise and all privileges 
enjoyed by it thereunder; provided, the majority of the qualified tax- 
paying voters of the city voting thereon shall vote to do so; and pro- 
vided, that upon the petition of twenty per cent. of the qualified prop- 
erty tax-paying voters to the Commissioners, the matter of acquisition 
of such property shall be submitted to an election to be determined by 
a vote of the qualified tax-paying voters, voting thereon, which elec- 
tion shall be held at the next succeeding election in the city of Pensa- 
cola, after at least twenty days’ notice thereof shall have been pub- 
lished daily for twenty days in a newspaper published in said city, and 
provided, that the owner of such physical property shall be compen- 
sated for the value thereof, considering solely the physical assets, 
such value to be determined by the report of the majority of three 
arbitrators, one to be selected by the Commissioners, one by the owner 
of the physical property to be valued, and the third by the arbitrators 
so selected, but if the owner of such physical property shall refuse for 
thirty days to select an arbitrator, then the value of such property 
shall be fixed by a vote of a majority of the Board of Commissioners. 
If the two arbitrators so selected shall be unable for thirty days to 
agree on a third arbitrator, then the majority vote of the Board of 
Commissioners shall fix such physical valuation. Any public utility 
accepting or operating under any license, permit or franchise granted, 
shall, by acceptance of same, be deemed to have consented to a future 
purchase, by the city of Pensacola in accordance with this act. 


Section 17. That the qualified voters may at any time file with 
the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Escambia County, Florida, a petition, 


APPENDIX IV 269 


or petitions, calling for the resignation of any Commissioner of said 
city. Such petition shall contain a general statement of the grounds 
upon which the removal of said official is requested, and each signer 
shall add after his name and nature and opposite thereto, his resi- 
dence address. No degree of generality or lack of particularity in the 
statement of grounds for removal shall be a ground for objections to 
such petition, in case such petition shall be signed by at least twenty 
per cent. of the voters who were qualified to vote for Commissioners 
at the last preceding city election, and the said Clerk shall certify the 
said petition to the Board of Commissioners. It shall be the duty of 
the Clerk of the Circuit Court to examine into the qualifications of 
the signers of said petition, and if he shall find that said petition does 
not contain the requisite number of qualified electors to call said elec- 
tion, he shall within ten days after receipt of said petition notify the 
persons presenting same, in writing, of such fact, and thereupon the 
persons so presenting said petition shall have ten days within which 
to secure additional signers to meet the deficiency pointed out by the 
said Clerk, and the failure to secure any additional number that may 
be necessary within ten days shall cause said petition to be denied. If 
the petition as originally presented is found by the Clerk to contain 
the requisite number of qualified electors to call such election, he shall 
within ten days after receipt of said petition, certify such fact to the 
Board of Commissioners. If the petition as originally presented does 
not contain the requisite number of qualified electors to call such elec- 
tion and the petitioners shall supply the deficiency within the time 
provided, then upon such deficiency being supplied, the said Clerk shall 
certify to the Board of Commissioners that the requisite number of 
qualified electors have petitioned for such election, calling for the 
resignation of the Commissioner named in the petition. If said officer 
shall not on or before the next regular meeting of the Board of Com- 
missioners after the receipt by the Board of Commissioners of the 
certificate of the said Clerk, as above provided, resign from office, then 
said Board at such meeting shall order an election to be held not less 
than thirty days nor more than forty days, from the date of said meet- 
ing at which a successor to such officer to hold office for his unexpired 
term shall be voted for. At this election the person sought to be re- 
moved from office shall be a candidate to succeed himself and his name 
shall be placed upon the official ballot without any affirmative action 
on his part, and other candidates for Commissioner for the unexpired 
term shall qualify the same as a candidate at a regular election here- 
under. Notice of such election shall be given by publication once a 
week for three weeks in some newspaper published in the city of Pen- 
sacola. Such election shall be held and the result declared in all re- 
spects the same as a regular election. The person who shall be elected 
to such office shall hold the same for the unexpired term thereof, and 


270 APPENDIX IV 


if the person so elected be the incumbent whose removal has been re- 
quested, then he shall continue in office as though such petition had 
not been filed or such election held. 


Section 18. The petitions provided by this act may be by a num- 
ber of separate instruments as well as by one instrument, and sepa- 
rate instruments may be joined together to make one petition. No 
person but a qualified voter shall sign any petition provided for by 
this act. The presence upon any: such petition or petitions of the 
names of persons who are not qualified voters shall not impair the 
validity of such petitions of the names of properly qualified electors 
thereon; only the names of such persons shall be treated as nullities. 
No person shall sign the name of another to a petition, whether with 
or without authority; and no person shall sign more than one separate 
instrument as a petition for any single purpose herein provided. Any 
violation of the foregoing provisions of this section shall constitute a 
misdemeanor punishable as such, or as may be provided by ordinance. 
The Clerk or Commissioners when passing on the sufficiency of such 
petition and holding the names thereon to be not qualified electors’ 
names, shall indicate, by marginal notations or other legible and in- 
telligible order thereon which names are so held to be insufficient so 
that interested parties may be advised of the exact reason if such peti- 
tion be held insufficient. 


Section 19. The Commissioners shall each month have printed a 
detailed report of all receipts and expenses and a summary of the 
proceedings during the preceding month and furnish printed copies 
thereof to the daily papers of the city, causing same to be published 
in such papers, and shall also furnish copies to such persons who ap- 
ply therefor. At the end of each fiscal year the Board of Commis- 
sioners shall cause a full and complete examination of all the books 
and accounts of the city to be made by a competent accountant and 
shall publish in pamphlet form the result of such examination in the 
manner above provided for publication of statements of monthly ex- 
penditures. The Governor is authorized at any time to have all the 
books and accounts of the city examined by a state examiner or public 
accountants, the cost of such examination to be paid by the city upon 
presentation to the Mayor or President of the Board, of said city, a 
duly certified statement of such expenses, by such examiner of public 
accounts, approved by the Governor, and when such state examiner

Commissioners elected under the provisions of this act, the appropria-

ing to facts. Such employee or officer discharging or suspending him

whatever requirements may be proper to secure efficient service, or as 
may tend to secure in the most ample manner the safety, health, com- 
fort, welfare and accommodation of the public, and to correct abuses 
and to prevent unjust discriminations and charges by any public 
utility. The term “public utility” as used in this act shall mean and

every such ordinance shall contain a provision for payment of the ex- 
penses of such election. 


APPENDIX IV 273

examine them under oath, subject to the penalties of perjury if they 
testify falsely. 


To aid the Commissioners in securing the information and records 
aforesaid, every public service utility shall keep and render to the 
Commissioners, in the manner and form prescribed by said Commis- 
sioners, uniform accounts of all business transacted, including cost, 
maintenance, and operation of plant, itemized gross income from all 
sources, itemized expenditures for all purposes, and such other records

removed from office. Every such contract or agreement shall be void. 
Such prohibition of free transportation shall not apply to policemen, 
sanitary inspectors or firemen in uniform, nor to policemen in the dis- 
charge of their duty. 


Section 30. No bonds shall be issued whatever, unless an election 
be duly ordered by the Commissioners, and if at such election the ma- 
jority of votes cast be in favor of creating such debt, it will be lawful

sacola, and shall be given and made by some good and solvent surety

If the majority of votes cast at such election be in favor of such prop- 
osition at the next regular municipal election thereafter there shall be 
elected all municipal officers as required by laws existing at the time 
of the passage of this act. Upon the election and qualification of such 
officers the city shall become a city of non-commission charter under 
its former charter, and general and special laws applicable thereto, 
but such change shall not in any manner or degree affect the property, 
rights or liabilities of such city, or any of its powers expressed or im- 
plied, but shall merely extend to such changes in the form of govern- 
ment. The sufficiency of such petition shall be determined, the elec- 
tion ordered and the results thereof declared in the manner provided 
for other elections in this act and the general laws of the State of 
Florida, and ordinances of said city. When an election is held under 


278 APPENDIX IV 


the provisions of this section, no other may be called for the same or

SPECIAL LAWS 


CHAPTER 6083, LAWS OF 1909 


An Act Relating to the Improvement by the City of Pensacola of 
Its Streets, Alleys and Public Ways. 


Be it Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: 


Section 1. That the City of Pensacola shall have the power to 
lay out, open, excavate, fill, grade, pave, curb, repair or otherwise im- 
prove streets, alleys or public ways, or any part thereof, and to pay 
for such improvements either from its general revenues or from 
money derived from the sale of bonds heretofore or hereafter author- 
ized by law, or by both of these methods, or by either or both of them 
in conjunction with money realized by the assessment for such pur- 
pose, of lots or parcels of land, or of railroads, benefitted as hereafter 
set forth by such improvement. And the Mayor and City Council shall 
determine by ordinance, from time to time, what of said improve- 
ments shall be made and what method or methods shall be adopted. 


Sec. 2. That when it shall be determined to pay in part for any 
such improvement by assessment of lots or parcels of land or rail- 
roads to be benefitted thereby, the Mayor and City Council shall, by 
ordinance, divide any street, alley or public way or part of such street, 
alley or public way to be improved into assessment districts, to be as 
small as in the opinion of the Mayor and City Counvil may be feasible 
and just, and such district may, if the city deem it expedient, em- 
brace one-half of the part of the street, alley or public way, abutting 
on one side of any block, and a portion of the street intersections at 
the end thereof, and each lot or parcel of land (except as is herein- 
after provided) fronting on the part of the street, alley or public way 
embraced in such district shall contribute to the cost of such improve- 
ment in such district (excluding therefrom such improvements as are 
to be paid for by railroads, as hereinafter provided) in the ratio of the 
number of feet of such parcel of land fronting on said street, alley or 
public way to the whole number of feet of all lots and parcels of land 
fronting on said street, alley or public way, within said district. Every 
corner lot or parcel of land shall pay in each assessment district ac- 
cording to its full frontage on every street, alley or public way upon 
which it abuts the said district. 


Sec. 8. Every lot or parcel of land fronting upon a street, alley 
or public way in any assessment district, shall pay its proportion ac- 
cording to the number of feet of its frontage in said district as afore- 
said, of two-thirds of the total cost of the improvement in said district, 


280 APPENDIX IV 


except that when the improvement consists of paving, it shall pay its 
proportion of two-thirds of said cost after deducting therefrom all 
sums which any railroad on such street shall be compellable to pay 
for such improvement in such district. Every such railroad shall be 
required to pay the costs of paving between the rails of each of its 
tracks in said district and eighteen inches on each side thereof. All 
land fronting on any street, alley or public way of any district (except 
land owned by the United States) whether such land be privately 
owned or belong to the State of Florida, or Escambia County, or the 
City of Pensacola, shall be required to pay its proportion, as afore- 
said, of the costs of every such improvement. The City shall pay 
from its general revenues or from the proceeds of the sale of bonds 
(provided for by Chapter 5530 of the Laws of Florida), or in part 
from one and in part from the other, as the City Council may at one 
or more times determine, the amount which would be apportioned to 
any land belonging to the United States and the amount which would 
be payable by any public square or any other parcel of land owned by 
the City, and all other sums which shall not, under the terms of this 
Act, be otherwise provided for. The City may include in the cost pay- 
able as aforesaid the cost of maintenance of such improvements, for a 
number of years, to be fixed by the City. 


Sec. 4. Upon the completion of any improvement in any assess- 
ment district, the Board of Bond Trustees, or the Board of Public 
Works, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided, shall ascertain the 
cost of such improvement in such district, and apportion the same be- 
tween the City, each of the lots or parcels of land and the railroad or 
railroads against which the same fs assessable, as is hereinbefore pro- 
vided, and shall issue a negotiable certificate as to each lot or parcel 
of land, and the portion of railroad in such district, setting forth the 
name of the owner, if known, of each lot or parcel of railroad, the de- 
scription thereof, and the amount assessed against the same and the 
time or times at which and the interest with which the same shall be 
payable, and shall cause the same to be registered in a book to be pro- 
vided and kept for that purpose by the City Clerk, and cause the same 
to be recorded in the Records of Mortgages of Escambia County, Flor- 
ida. All assignments of the said certificates may likewise be regis- 
tered in the said book kept as aforesaid by the City Clerk. The City 
may, if it thinks it expedient, by ordinance, provide for the payment 
of all or any part of the sums payable upon such assessments in in- 
stallments of such amounts, at such times, and with such interest, not 
exceeding ten per cent. per annum, as it may determine. A lien for 
the amount assessed against any lot or parcel of land or railroad, and 
for the cost of registering and recording said certificate, and the cost 
of cancelling the same, and the costs of the prosecution of any suit 


» 


APPENDIX IV 281 


brought to foreclose the same, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, 
shall exist upon the said lot or parcel of land and railroad from the 
time of the beginning of the work on said improvement, and the failure 
to register or record the said certificate, either in the name of the 
owner of the lot, or in the omission of such name, or in any other mat- 
ter, or any mistake or inaccuracy in the registering or recording of the 
said certificate shall not affect said lien. Said lien shall be cancelled 
in the same manner as mortgages are required to be cancelled. The 
said lien shall be foreclosed by a suit in equity, as other liens are, 
under the statutes of the State of Florida. The City shall, at the re- 
quest of any holder or holders of any certificate or certificates, bring 
suit in its name at the expense of such holder or holders to collect the 
amount or amounts evidenced by such certificate or certificates, and 
may enforce any number of certificates in one suit. The payment by 
the owner of any lot or parcel of land, or railroad, to the holder of any 
certificate of the amount due thereon, as aforesaid, shall discharge the 
said lot or parcel of land, or railroad, from any lien or liability for the 
sums aforesaid to any persons or corporations whatsoever. 


Sec. 5. No error in the proceedings by the Mayor and City Coun- 
cil or of any official of the city, in the creation of such lien, or in the 
proceedings leading up to the completion of the said work, shall, after 
the said work has been done, exempt the property benefitted as afore- 
said from the payment of the lien aforesaid, but if any such improve- 
ment shall have been completed without any resort to the courts by a 
lot owner or railroad to prevent the making of the same, such lot 
owner or railroad shall not have the right thereafter to allege any in- 
formality, irregularity, or illegality in any of the steps prior to said 
completion. 


Sec. 6. That if any part of any street, alley or public way, im- 
proved as aforesaid, shall not be included in any assessment district, 
created as aforesaid by the City, and the City shall pay for the im- 
provement of said part, it may thereafter include such omitted part 
in another assessment district, and assess a due proportion of the cost 
thereof in accordance with this Act, upon the lots and parcels of land 
fronting the said street, alley or public way in said other district, and 
upon any railroad or railroads in such district compellable to con- 
tribute thereto, and liens shall exist as heretofore provided for, and the 
payment of all sums so apportioned and the cost of registering, re- 
cording and cancelling the certificates aforesaid, and the cost of the 
prosecution of any suit brought to enforce the same, including a rea- 
sonable attorney’s fee, shall be enforced in the manner provided in 
this Act. 


Section 7. In the event that any part of the money raised by the 
sale of bonds (provided for by Chapter 5530 of the Laws of Florida) 


282 APPENDIX IV 


of the City shall be used for any such improvement, it shall be the 
duty of the Board of Bond Trustees now or to be provided for, by law, 
or such other person or persons as may have imposed upon them sub- 
stantially similar powers, to recommend to the City Council the streets 
to be improved, and the material to be used for such improvement, and 
the making of all contracts for the doing of such work, and the super- 
vision and control thereof shall be done by the Board of Bond Trus- 
tees, or such other person or persons as aforesaid, subject at all times, 
however, to the approval and control of the City Council. If, how- 
ever, such improvement is made without the use of money raised from 
the sale of said bonds, the making of all contracts and the supervision 
and control of the work shall be done by the Board of Public Works 
now provided for or to be provided for by law, or such other persons 
as may have imposed upon them substantially similar powers, subject 
at all times, however, to the approval and control of the City Council. 


Sec. 8. The City Council may, by ordinance, provide from time 
to time for the issuance of special improvement bonds for the purpose 
of paying the sums payable as aforesaid by lots or parcels of land 
and railroads, as evidenced by said negotiable certificates, for im- 
provements assessable to said lots or parcels of land and railroads, as 
aforesaid. Such bonds shall be of such aggregate amounts, of such 
denominations, with such dates of issuance and of payments, with in- 
terest at such rate, and be of such form as the City Council may de- 
termine, but no bond shall be issued for a period longer than ten 
years. They may be issued from time to time, as the City Council 
may think expedient, but the total amount of such bonds outstanding 
at any one time shall not exceed two and one-half per cent. of the 
assessed valuation of all the property taxable by the City, as shown 
upon its assessment rolls. Such bonds shall pledge the City to apply 
to the payment thereof all the proceeds realized by the City from the 
liens upon the lots or parcels of land and railroads for the construc- 
tion of improvements as hereinbefore provided, and the said proceeds 
shall be used exclusively for the taking up of the said bonds and in- 
terest thereon. 

Sec. 9. That the City Council shall have the right to pass all such 
ordinances not inconsistent with this Act, as may be necessary to sup- 
plement this Act, or to further provide for the effectual making of 
the improvements and of ‘the assessments aforesaid and of payment 
for the said improvements or any of them. 

Sec. 10. That all Acts and parts of Acts inconsistent herewith 
are hereby repealed. 

Sec. 11. That this Act shall take effect immediately upon the 
approval thereof by the Governor.

Chapter 5088—(No. 204.) 


An Act to Provide for the Assessment, Levy and Collection of 
Revenue for the City of Pensacola. 


Be it Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: 


Section 1. All taxes already levied or imposed, under existing 
laws, not yet paid, shall remain payable, unless the contrary be here- 
inafter provided, in accordance with the provisions of said law. 


Sec. 2. The city shall raise a revenue from ad valorem taxes and 
licenses, and to that end the Council of said city is hereby authorized 
and empowered to provide each year by ordinances for the levy of 
taxes upon real and personal property within its corporate limits, not 
exempt from taxation by the Constitution of the State of Florida, and 
may impose license and occupational taxes upon all trades, professions 
and businesses conducted within the city limits, and license the keeping 
of vehicles, including bicycles and motor vehicles. The especial pur- 
pose for which the tax or license is imposed shall be specified in the 
ordinance making the levy, and the revenue arising therefrom shall be 
expended for no other purpose than those so specified. 


Sec. 8. In the ordinance fixing for any year the tax rate, the 
Council shall subdivide its levy as follows: A levy for general pur- 
poses; a levy for police purposes; a levy for street, park and public 
works; a levy for the payment of interest and the principal sum of 
the bonded indebtedness of the city; a special levy for the protection 
from fire, but real estate which is situated more than two thousand 
feet from the nearest fire hydrant shall not be subject to the special 
levy for protection from fire. 


Sec. 4. In no fiscal year shall the Council appropriate or expend, 
or contract for the expenditure of more than ninety-five per cent. of 
the estimated revenue of the current year, unless more than that 
shall be actually collected; and if in any year less than ninety-five 
per cent. shall be collected, the deficiency shall be provided for in the 
levy for the next year, and shall be called the “deficit tax.” Any un- 
expended or unappropriated balances in any current year shall be 
passed to the same fund for the succeeding year. 


Sec. 5. If in any year the Council shall fail to pass a levy ordi- 
nance, or if the levy ordinance in any year shall be invalid or inop- 
erative, the rate of taxation for that year shall be the same as it was 
the year before, item for item. 


Sec. 6. For the purpose of taxation, real estate shall include land 
and the improvements thereon (but improvements when owned by the 
tenant or other person or persons other than the owner of the land, 


286 APPENDIX IV 


may be assessed apart from the land, and in such cases in making his 
assessments, the Assessor shall take separately the values of the lands 
and the improvements thereon;) and personal property shall include 
every other species and character of property. 


[Sec. 7.* There shall be appointed in the month of December, 
1901, and in the same month every two years thereafter, as herein pro- 
vided, a Board of Equalization, who shall establish a basis of valuation 
for the equalization of taxes, and who shall perform the duties as here- 
inafter provided. The Council may, in its discretion, in the month of 
December, 1901, or in the same month any year thereafter, by a two- 
thirds vote of all its members, appoint an assessor. He shall be a 
holder of real estate in his own right, and shall have had a continu- 
ous residence in the City of not less than five years immediately pre- 
ceding his appointment. He shall hold office for two years, and until 
his successor is appointed and qualified. Until the appointment and 
qualification of an assessor, the Comptroller shall act as assessor; he 
shall be vested with all the authority and power and perform all the 
duties of the assessor set forth in this Act, and in all matters pertain- 
ing to the office of assessor he shall sign all papers and be designated 
as acting assessor.] (*Amended by Sec. 7, Chapter 5832, Laws of 
1907.) 


Sec. 8. All property shall be assessed and valued as of the first 
day of January of each year; on the basis established by the Board of 
Equalization, the real and personal property of railroad and street 
railway companies shall be subject to assessment and taxation within 
the limits of the City in the manner and at the same rate of valuation 
as the property of individuals is assessed. Lots and blocks, and por- 
tions of lots and blocks used by railroad companies for the right of 
way and side-tracks and switching purposes shall be valued and as- 
sessed against the company using them at the same rate and in the 
same manner as real estate of individuals; provided, that lots and 
blocks and portions thereof so used that are assessed to individuals 
shall not be re-assesed. 


Sec. 9. The Assessor shall, before assessing any real estate, view 
the same in person, or by deputy, and to assist in the work he shall 
provide a book in which the City lots and blocks shall be entered ac- 
cording to the tracts and subdivisions as they appear in the map of 
said City, copyrighted by Thos. C. Watson, in 1884, with the Maxent 
tract and Pettersen’s addition, and when the blocks and lots do not 
appear as subdivided on said map, he shall copy the subdivisions as 
they appear of record, and shall mark opposite the lot or block the 
name of the owner or occupant, and if not occupied and he cannot 
ascertain the name of the owner, the words ‘unknown owners,” also 
the day he visited the property, and the actual cash value of the real 


APPENDIX IV 287 


estate and improvements, if improved. He shall make a name index 
to the book, alphabetically arranged. His failure to so visit in person 
or by deputy shall not invalidate the assessment. He shall see every 
taxpayer or his agent, if resident in the city, in person or by deputy, 
and take a list of all real or personal property owned or controlled by 
him or her on blanks provided by ordinance; and every person owning 
or holding taxable property in his or her own right, or as fiduciary, 
guardian or agent, shall return, to the Assessor or his deputy a true 
list of such property, real and personal, with the cash value thereof, 
and the cash value so returned may be considered by the Assessor in 
making assessments, but he shall not be bound thereby, and the assess- 
ment for taxation of all such property shall be made on the basis 
established by the Board of Equalization, as hereinbefore provided. In 
case of the failure or refusal of any person to return a true and full 
list, in quantity and value, the Assessor may, according to the best in- 
formation he can obtain, assess the real and personal property. The 
Assessor shall report in writing to the Council of the City any failure 
or refusal to make the returns as above required, and the Circuit Court 
shall, at the instance of the Mayor of the City, by rule or process of 
contempt, enforce upon delinquents the return above required. When 
any real estate shall not be assessed, or is irregularly or illegally as- 
sessed in any one year, it may, when the omission or error is discov- 
ered, be assessed retrospectively for that year. All real estate shall 
be listed and assessed according to lots or blocks of the several tracts 
or plats of land within the City, and the Council may from time to 
time, provide for other additional maps or platting for assessment 
purposes. Real estate, the owners of which have failed to make re- 
turn thereof, as herein provided, and the owners of which, the Asses- 
sor, after looking on the record of information, is unable to ascertain, 
shall be assessed to “unknown owners,” and such assessment shall not 
be declared invalid or not lawfully made on account of being so as- 
sessed, and it shall be no answer to any proceeding to enforce the col- 
lection of taxes, when no assessment return is made by the owner, that 
the property was not assessed in the name of the owner. 


Sec. 10. The Assessor shall begin the work of assessment on the 
tenth day of January of each year, or as soon thereafter as possible. 
Books shall be provided and assessments shall be entered and recorded 
in the manner and form prescribed by law for the County Tax Asses- 
sor, and in addition the Assessor shall note opposite each separately 
assessed parcel of real estate whether or not it is subject to fire pro- 
tection tax. He shall complete his assessment roll not later than th 
first day of July of each year. 


Sec. 11. The assessment book shall remain open in the Assessor’s - 
office from the first day of July until the first day of August, and any 


288 APPENDIX IV 


one who thinks his property, or tract in which he has an interest, 
though it may not be assessed in his name, has been assessed’ beyond 
its value, may, before the last named day, file with the Assessor his 
complaint, specifying the alleged excess, and the complaint shall be 
presented to the board of equalization, which shall have power to in- 
crease, reduce, change or alter any and all the assessments for the 
purpose of an equal assessment. The board of equalization may, 
after notice and hearing to any taxpayer, increase the assessment if 
satisfied, on investigation, that it is too low, either on real or per- 
sonal property, and the decision of the board of equalization shall be 
final in all cases; Provided, however, That the Council, by a two-thirds 
vote of all its members, at any meeting after the assessment book has 
been returned to it by the board of equalization, may correct any 
erroneous assessments as it may deem just and proper; Provided, That 
notice of any contemplated correction shall have been given at a pre- 
vious meeting of the Council. 


[Sec. 12*. The board of equalization shall consist of three citi- 
zens of the City of Pensacola, owners of real estate, who have had a 
continuous residence in the City of not less than five years immediate- 
ly preceding their appointment. They shall be appointed by ballot by 
a two-thirds vote of the entire Council, and they shall hold the office 
for a term of two years. The names of the appointees shall, after 
presentation to the Council, lie over not less than two weeks before 
action thereon is taken by the Council; they may be removed by the 
Council for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, and all vacancies 
in said board, caused by removal or death, or resignation, or removal 
from the City, shall be filled in like manner as if original appointees. 
The Council may compensate the members of said board out of the 
treasury at a rate not exceeding three dollars per day to each for each 
day’s services actually performed. Two members of said board shall 
constitute a quorum. The Assessor, or one of his deputies, shall act 
as a clerk for said board.] (*Amended by Sec. 8, Chapter 5832, Laws . 
of 1907.) 


Sec. 18. The board of equalization shall keep a full and true 
journal of its proceedings, which is to be preserved as part of the City 
records. The board shall hold its meetings in the office of the Asses- 
sor. It shall meet daily, Sunday excepted, beginning on the first day 
of August and continuing until the thirty-first day of August, and for 
such further time as may be necessary to complete its work, but no 
complaint shall be heard by said board except those filed with the 
Assessor, as hereinbefore provided. At the first meeting of the Coun- 
cil in September, or as soon thereafter as possible, the board of equal- 
ization shall transmit the assessment book, as revised and fixed by it, 
with a statement of the total amount of the assessments and a total 


APPENDIX IV 289 


amount subject to the special levy for protection from fire, to the 
Council, and the Council shall then fix the rate of taxation for the 
year. The board of equalization and the Assessor shall make and 
annex to the assessment book as returned to the Council the following 
affidavit: 


State of Florida, County of Escambia: Personally appeared be- 
LEN SI 1 CSA a Se members of the Board of Equalization, and................ , 
Assessor of the City of Pensacola, who, being duly sworn, say the an- 
nexed list contains a true statement and description of all the prop- 
erty in the City of Pensacola subject to taxation, or liable to be as- 
sessed therein, and that the valuations hereof are just and correct, 
so far as we have been able to ascertain. 


[Sec. 14*. The Assessor shall, as soon as the rate of taxation has 
been fixed, begin to make out the tax bills in the form and manner 
provided by ordinance, and complete and list all tax bills for collection 
on or before the fifteenth day of October. Each bill shall be authen- 
ticated by the Assessor by his signature, and when so authenticated 
it shall be prima facie proof that all steps have been taken to make it 
a binding tax bill for the amounts and purposes, and against the per- 
sons and property therein named or described.] (*Amended by Chap- 
ter 5534, Laws of 1905.) 


Sec. 15. The tax bills as made out and authenticated by the As- 
‘sessor shall be listed with the Tax Collector and with the Comptroller 
at the same time provided above, and the Collector shall be charged on 
the books of the City with the total sum of all such bills. All taxes 
shall be due and payable on the first day of January following the date 
of being listed for collection, but the Collector shall receive payment of 
tax bills at any time after they have been listed with him; and taxes 
paid in October shall be subject to a discount of two per cent, and 
those paid in November to a discount of one and one-half per cent.; in

of infancy, coverture or unsound mind) owning property in his own 


290 APPENDIX IV 


right, together with the penalties accruing, shall from the first day of 
January succeeding the date they are listed with the Collector, be 
deemed a debt from such person to the City, and may be enforced as 
such by all remedies given for the recovery of debt in any court of the 
State having jurisdiction; and bills assessed against an administrator, 
executor or trustee, shall be a charge against the whole succession of 
trust estates, and may be enforced accordingly, aside, in either case, 
from the other remedies hereinafter given. The City:shall have a lien 
on all property, goods, or chattels, or any legal or equitable right or 
interest in any property of all persons indebted to it for taxes, superior

precedence of dower, courtesy, remainder, reversion or future estates. 
Personal property shall be liable for taxes on both personal and on 
real estate, and real estate shall be liable for taxes on both real estate

tion.

person was written to and whether the letter came back as undelivered, 
and shall file this list with the Comptroller. For reporting falsely, he 
and his sureties shall answer to the person aggrieved for all costs, 
penalties and damages caused thereby, but neither a false report or a 
failure to report shall invalidate subsequent proceedings under this act. 


Sec. 19. Between the fifteenth day of June and the first day of 
July following upon the filing of the above list, the Comptroller shall 
make out for the tax bill, in whole or in part unpaid, (except the per-

sonal property. The warrants, with the doings of the Tax Collector 
truly endorsed thereon by himself or deputy, shall be returned to the 
Comptroller on the date therein named, and the same responsibilities 
shall devolve on the Tax Collector under these warrants as attaches

be personally liable for such tax to the amount he might have so ap- 
plied, which liability may be enforced by a comman law suit for money

292 APPENDIX IV 


jurisdiction, and discovery may be had by interrogatories filed and 
served with the praecipe in the manner and under the penalties now

provements.

shall return to the Comptroller a list of all tax bills wholly or in part 
unpaid, together with the bills enumerated therein, and make his final

Council. 


The Finance Committee may examine the Collector under oath as 
to his doings under warrants for which he claims credit on the tax 
bills. Should the Collector in any year, through any fault of his own,

the regularity and validity of all proceedings relating to the assess- 
ment, levy and collection of taxes on the property described therein, 
and against the owners thereof, and as to the amounts stated therein, 
and the City’s lien on property for taxes shall not be divested by any 
State or County tax sale, or by any deed based on such tax sale, and 
no property certified to, or the title to which has, or may hereafter be, 
vested in, the State of Florida, by reason of the non-payment of State 
or County taxes, shall be allowed to be cancelled or redeemed until the 
City’s tax lien on said property has been satisfied.

ity of all proceedings on which the same are based in all particulars 
which may not be otherwise validated by this Section, and in the 
event any such certificate shall have been lost or destroyed, copies of 
the entries in any list or book showing the sale of any real estate to 
the City for the non-payment of taxes, or the issuing of any such cer- 
tificate which was required by law to be filed, or recorded, in the 
office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Escambia County shall, when 
certified by the Clerk of said Court, be of the same force and effect as 
the original list or certificates, and accepted by all courts as prima 
facie evidence of the validity of the City’s lien for the amount of taxes 
stated in said book, list or certificate, and also for the interests, penal- 
ties and costs given by law, against the real estate described therein.

other real estate for similar improvements, and to enforce payment to 
it, by said County, of the amount of any and all taxes, collected and

APPENDIX IV 305 


Sec. 18. The Mayor and Council shall have power by ordinance: 


1st. To provide for issuing special tax bills payable in install- 
ments, or otherwise, at such times and in such manner as it may deter- 
mine, for the payment of any special tax which the City is hereby au- 
thorized to levy and assess against real estate, or the owner thereof, 
for the cost of any work, materials or services which may be done or 
rendered by the City, under contract or otherwise, in the construction, 
reconstruction or repair of sidewalks, connecting property with water 
mains, or sewers, or the establishment or improvement of parks and 
parkings, and the planting of trees therein, in front of the property

private property which the owner shall fail to do, within the time and 
manner prescribed by ordinance, and which the City shall do or have 
done. All such special tax bills when listed in the office of the City 
Comptroller shall constitute a lien upon the property therein described,

work, and of the correctness of the rates and prices, amount thereof, 
and of the liability of the person therein named as the owner of the 
land, charged with such bill, to pay the same; provided that nothing 
herein shall be construed as to prevent the party charged with the 
payment of said bill from setting up by way of defense in deduction 
of the amount of same, that the work was done in a good and work- 
manlike manner, as required by the ordinance or contract, and that 
such party, before the commencement of the suit, tendered to the con- 
tractor the fair value of such work done, and if he shall establish the 
same on trial, the recovery shall only be for the amount so ten- 
dered, and the judgment for costs shall be rendered against the plain- 
tiff; provided, further, that the City shall not be liable in any manner

APPENDIX V 


FIRST GOVERNMENT OF PENSACOLA IN 1821-22 - 


February 22, 1819, the treaty for the cession of Florida by Spain to 
the United States was signed by the agents of the respective govern- 
ments and was promptly ratified by the Senate of the United States. 
The King of Spain delayed ratification until October 24, 1820, and for 
this reason the treaty was finally ratified by the Senate of the United 
States February 19, 1821, and the issuance by President Monroe of his 
proclamation on February 22, 1821. 

March 3, 1821, Congress authorized by law the President to organ- 
ize a temporary government for Florida. 

March 10, 1821, President Monroe appointed Major General An- 
drew Jackson Governor of Florida with all the powers and duties pre- 
viously possessed and exercised by the Captain General and Governor 
under Spain. 

July 17, 1821, at Pensacola, West Florida was transferred to the 
United States. The following is a copy in the English language of a 
paper signed by the representatives of the two governments in the 
transaction: 


“The undersigned, Major General Andrew Jackson, of the State of 
Tennessee, Commissioner of the United States, in pursuance of the full 
powers received by him from James Monroe, President of the United 
States of America, of the date of the 10th of March, 1821, and of the 
45th of the independence of the United States of America, attested by 
John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State, and Don Jose Callava, Com- 
mandant of the province of West Florida, and Commissioner for the 
delivery, in the name of his catholic majesty, of the country, terri- 
tories, and dependencies of West Florida, to the Commissioner of the 
United States, in conformity with the powers, commission and special 
mandate, received by him from the Captain General of the Island of 
Cuba, of the date of the 5th day of May, 1821, imparting to him 
therein the royal order of the 24th of October, 1820, issued and signed 
by his catholic majesty, Ferdinand the Seventh, and attested by the 
Secretary of State, Don Evaristo Perez de Castro. 

“Do certify by these presents, that, on the seventeenth day of 
July, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-one of the Christian era, 
and forty-sixth of the independence of the United States, having met 
in the court room of the government house in the town of Pensacola, 
accompanied on either part by the chiefs and officers of the army and 
navy, and by a number of the citizens of the respective nations, the 
said Andrew Jackson, Major General and Commissioner, has delivered 


332 APPENDIX V 


to the said Colonel Commandant Don Jose Callava, his before-men- 
tioned powers; whereby he recognizes him to have received full power 
and authority to take possession of, and to occupy, the territories ceded 
by Spain to the United States by the treaty concluded at Washington on 
the 22nd day of February, 1819, and for that purpose to repair to said 
territories and there to execute and to perform all such acts and things 
touching the premises, as may be necessary for fulfilling his appoint- 
ment conformably to the said treaty and the laws of the United States, 
with authority likewise to appoint any person or persons in his stead, 
to receive possession of any part of the said ceded territories, accord- 
ing to the stipulations of the said treaty; Wherefore, the Colonel Com- 
mandant Don Jose Callava immediately declared, that, in virtue and in 
performance of the power, commission and special mandate, dated at 
Havana on the 5th day of May, 1821, he thenceforth, and from that 
moment, placed the said Commissioner of the United States in posses- 
sion of the country, territories, and dependencies of West Florida, in- 
cluding the fortress of St. Marks, with the adjacent islands dependent 
upon said province, all public lots and squares, vacant lands, public 
edifices, fortifications, barracks, and other buildings which are not pri- 
vate property, according to, and in the manner set forth by, the inven- 
tories and schedules which he has signed and delivered with the 
archives and documents directly relating to the property and sover- 
eignty of the said territory of West Florida, including the fortress of 
St. Marks, and situated to the east of the Mississippi River, the whole 
in conformity with the second article of the treaty of cession concluded 
at Washington the 22nd of February, 1819, between Spain and the 
United States, by Don Luis de Onis, minister plenipotentiary of his 
catholic majesty, and John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State of the 
United States, both provided with full powers, which treaty has been 
ratified on one part by his catholic majesty, Ferdinand the Seventh, 
and the President of the United States, with the advice and consent 
of the Senate of the United States, on the other part; which rati- 
fications have been duly exchanged at Washington the 22nd of Feb- 
ruary, 1821, and the forty-fifth of the independence of the United 
States of America, by General Don Dyonisius Vives, minister pleni- 
potentiary of his catholic majesty, and John Quincy Adams, Secre- 
tary of State of the United States, according to the instrument signed 
on the same day: And the present delivery of the country is made in 
order that, in execution of the said treaty, the sovereignty and the 
property of that province of West Florida, including the fortress of 
St. Marks, shall pass to the United States, under the stipulations 
therein expressed. 


“And the said Colonel Commandant Don Jose Callava has, in con- 
sequence, at the present time, made to the Commissioner of the United 


APPENDIX V 333 


States, Major General Andrew Jackson, in this public cession, a deliv- 
ery of the keys of the town of Pensacola, of the archives, documents, 
and other articles, in the inventories before mentioned; declaring that 
he releases from their oath of allegiance to Spain the citizens and in- 
habitants of West Florida who may choose to remain under the do- 
minion of the United States. 


“And that this important and solemn act may be in perpetual 
memory, the within named have signed the same, and have sealed 
with their respective seals, and caused to be attested by their secre- 
taries of commission, the day and year aforesaid.

July 17, 1821, General Jackson, at Pensacola, issued the following: 


‘“‘Whereas, by the treaty concluded between the United States and 
Spain, on the 22nd day of February, 1819, and duly ratified, the prov- 
inces of the Floridas were ceded by Spain to the United States, and 
the possession of the said provinces is now in the United States; 

“And whereas, the Congress of the United States, on the 3rd day 
of March, in the present year, did enact that, until the end of the first 
session of the seventeenth Congress, unless provision for the tempo- 
rary government of said provinces be sooner made by Congress, all the 
military, civil and judicial powers exercised by the officers of the 
existing government of the said provinces shall be vested in such per- 
son and persons and shall be exercised in such manner as the Presi- 
dent of the United States shall direct for the maintaining the inhabi- 
tants of said territories in the free enjoyment of their liberty, proper- 
ty, and religion; and the President of the United States has, by his 
commission bearing date the tenth day of said March, invested me 
with all the powers, and charged me with the several duties, hereto- 
fore held and exercised by the captain general, intendant, and govern- 
ors, aforesaid; 


“T have, therefore, thought it fit to issue this my proclamation, 
making known the premises, and to declare that the government here- 
tofore exercised over the said provinces, under the authority of Spain, 
has ceased, and that that of the United States of America is estab- 
lished over the same; that the inhabitants thereof will be incorpo- 
rated in the union of the United States as soon as may be consistent 
with the principles of the federal Constitution, and admitted to the 


334 APPENDIX V 


enjoyment of all the privileges, rights, and immunities of the citizens 
of the United States; that, in the meantime, they shall be maintained 
and protected in the free employment of their liberty, property, and 
the religion they profess; that all laws and municipal regulations 
which were in existence at the cessation of the late government, re- 
main in full force; and all civil officers charged with their execution, © 
except those whose powers have been especially vested in me, and ex- 
cept, also, such officers as have been intrusted with the collection of 
the revenue, are continued in their functions, during the pleasure of 
the governor for the time being, or until provision shall otherwise be 
made. 


“And I do hereby exhort and enjoin all the inhabitants and other 
persons within the said provinces, to be faithful and true in their alle- 
giance to the United States, and obedient to the laws and authorities 
of the same, under full assurance that their just rights will be under 
the guardianship of the United States, and will be maintained from all 
force and violence from without or within. 


“Given at Pensacola this (tenth day of July for East Florida, and 
seventeenth day of July for West Florida) one thousand eight hundred 
and twenty-one. —
